This was add a couple of days ago and from what I have read, amazon doesn't take more than 24 hours... so i am out of ideas. Any help or point in the right direction would help. Thank you.

I don't think you've set the Name field correctly. Google's reference to a Name/Host/Alias of @ is a BIND shorthand for "the zone itself", and since you're not using BIND, that doesn't really apply. If you try setting the MX record for just bracketfanatic.com, rather than @.bracketfanatic.com, things should work somewhat better.

Edit: I think you'll find things are better now:

[me@risby ~]$ dig mx bracketfanatic.com @ns-21.awsdns-02.com.
[...]
